Exciting News: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Enters Pre-Production, Possibly Titled Cyberpunk 2

Sure thing. Here’s the rewritten article:

So, Wednesday rolled in with some unexpected good vibes. Guess what? CD Projekt dropped a little bombshell: Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel is officially in pre-production. Yep, that’s right. It’s not swagging around with that old codename, Project Orion, anymore. Nah, it’s just Cyberpunk 2 now. No frills.

So, CD Projekt put this out there during their financial show-and-tell. They even gave a nod to the Cyberpunk gang for getting to this checkpoint. Meanwhile, everybody’s gearing up for the first Cyberpunk release on Nintendo Switch 2. Wild, huh?

And oh, there was this bit where they mentioned, “A few weeks back, the CDPR folks behind the new game set in the Cyberpunk world wrapped up the conceptual stuff.” They said it, not me. So, Cyberpunk 2 has moved to pre-production. Man, I’m just trying to keep up.

Anyway—no, wait—if you peek at their full spiel, by April 30, there were 96 devs on Cyberpunk 2, up from 84 in Feb. Tiny compared to the 422 folks on Witcher 4, but hey, CDPR’s got its priorities. And then there’s those 131 doing the behind-the-scenes magic on all the games. That’s tons of busy bees!

Oh, and what about this Phantom Liberty expansion? Sold 10 million. Meanwhile, Witcher 3’s chilling with 60 million. Ten years old and still a hit? That’s some longevity right there.

Kinda curious if Cyberpunk 2 will stick with that name or switch to something with a year, just to vibe with Cyberpunk 2077. No clue. Mike Pondsmith, though, says it’s about a city that feels like Chicago, but worse. How does Chicago—but worse—even look? Could be interesting.
